For anyone searching for a unique Monster Hunter guitar or collectible piece of music gear, this release is a must-see.
A Legendary Beast Brought to Life
The Rathalos is known in Monster Hunter lore as the “King of the Skies”—a fierce, flame-breathing wyvern whose fiery attacks strike terror into hunters around the world. Fender has captured that formidable presence in nearly every detail of this limited-edition Telecaster:
- Custom Graphics: Finished in a deep, shimmering “Rathalos Red” satin polyester, the guitar features flame and feather graphics inspired by Rathalos, plus the Monster Hunter guild mark on the body front—perfect for fans who want a guitar that stands out on stage or in a collection.
- Rathalos Iconography: The dragon’s iconic silhouette appears on the back of the body and as a unique inlay at the 12th fret, creating a truly collectible electric guitar for Monster Hunter enthusiasts.
- Tortoiseshell Pickguard & Black Hardware: Fierce visual accents complement the Rathalos-inspired aesthetic, blending classic Fender style with bold, modern flair.
Built for Hunters of Tone
Beyond its striking looks, the Monster Hunter Rathalos Telecaster delivers the exceptional sound and feel players expect from Fender electric guitars:
- Body & Neck: An alder body offers resonant tone and lightweight comfort, while the maple neck features a smooth satin urethane finish and a comfortable Modern “C” profile. The 9.5” rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets allows easy bending and fast runs, perfect for modern rock and metal players.
- Custom Pickups: Exclusive Monster Hunter Rathalos pickups—a humbucker in the neck and a single-coil in the bridge—provide a versatile range of tones, from thick, aggressive riffs suited for high-gain pedals to crisp, articulate cleans for more melodic passages.
- Hardware: A vintage-style 3-saddle strings-through-body Tele bridge with slanted brass saddles ensures classic Telecaster snap and sustain, while vintage-style locking tuners keep everything rock solid for live performance or studio sessions.
